MIA

So with everything stress wise going on I have neglected to update, when I reality I should not avoid this blog because it is perfect stress relief.

First, MIL is still here but M so nicely told her to go away to her daughters for a week. This has been the best week. I like her but I just need her not here. I need an arrival date and a departure date which I don’t get with her staying with us. Luckily if she arrives back at our house on Wednesday which I hope then I only have to spend a couple days with her before our vacation. So rock on. Still don’t know when she will finally leave.

My first doctor appointment was on the 12th. I was disappointed going in thinking there would not be an u/s and M would not get to see the baby because he wont be able to get the time off now. Well, the wonderful NP that we met with had them squeeze us in. She was amazing. Now I am so upset about not staying with this office. I don’t meet the doctor until the 29th but I am hoping to have some idea as to when I will switch to the doctor in the new town soon. The baby measured 11w 3d at the visit when I thought I was 10w 5d so that made me happy too. They got he/she to dance a bit and sit up an stretch (or at least what looks like that) heart beat was 162bpm. They gave us a bunch of pictures but I have yet to figure out how to scan them onto my computer. I would show baby bump photos but, there are none. I show no difference yet from 4 weeks to 10 weeks or now. I haven’t gained any weight yet either. I get car sick now and get light headed which I don’t enjoy. Still pretty tired all the time. In a couple more weeks I hope the tired feeling will go a bit away.

Bought my first set of maternity bras, a tummy sleeve and preggy drops. It was exciting. I just need a bump now!

Spent the morning vacuuming and cleaning carpets, scrubbing bathtubs and laundry.

In other news M and I are going to try marriage counseling. We need it especially with all the stresses going on in our lives. Things got bad for a bit. It is a bit better but we still need help.

So that is why I have been missing. will try to keep updating though.

Stress

We are moving, looking for a house, I am emotional and M’s mom is visiting which brings out my frustration in not knowing what is going on, how long is she staying? I don’t know, How long is she staying with us? I don’t know. Is she planning on moving in with us even though M supposedly told her that we don’t want that yet? I don’t know. I just want to avoid my home right now so I don’t have to interact with either of them.

Lets See

What news, what news. . . hmm. Oh I know! How about the news that we found out we are staying where we are at and have decided to buy a house! Yay! In fact we got pre-approved for a loan Thursday and then saw a house Friday. . . and then put an offer in on said house! I know! We are moving fast. First house we saw and we put in an offer. Strange yes but when you consider we have been house hunting on the internet for months and know what is out there we are pretty happy with the home. We are asking $35,000 below what they want and that is after they dropped the price $30,000 about 1 month ago I think. So I don’t know how well they will like our offer. I just hope it works out. We are both talking about what we will do to the house so much that is going to be a big let down if the negotiations go bad. A pregnancy and a house all in one month, a lot to process but it would be awesome if it happens.

Went and saw Wolverine today, which was a pretty good movie. I expected more though after all the reviews I heard about it. Oh and Deadpool I heard they were making a movie out of so I wonder how that is going to work.

Hungry, going to go make cheesy hamburger helper. Oh yeah.

Weekend Getaway

This past weekend M and I were gone to visit my family. It was needed and long over due. I haven’t gone down to see all my family since December. My Mom and Dad have come up and visited me but my brother and his daughter are unable. So my mom and I did baby things. A bit early for it, yes. I couldn’t help myself she was so excited and wanted to go to Target and look at stuff that I got caught up in it. I even have a registry already when I am only 5 weeks along! I feel like I will be jinxing myself and something will happen. She had fun though and started buying stuff for the baby. It really sucks because I won’t be able to go down for Christmas. It will be my first Christmas without my family ever, and I will be pregnant with my first child. I have a feeling there will be lots of crying. I am hoping that we will get to buy a house and then at least I can invite everyone up to celebrate with us.

I woke up with M this morning at around 6am even though I didn’t need to. I got the laundry going and then laid on the couch and fell back to sleep. I had the hardest time getting myself back up. I have this list of stuff I need to get done today and I feel lazy but I like having my relaxing days and even though when we were with my family all I did was relax, we had to travel there and back so it didn’t feel like my true relaxing days.

Oh and yeah, May sucks. What happen to May’s flowers? I am done with April’s showers I tell ya.

Backyard Visitor

Last night I was happily BBQ some steaks while M was out hitting some golf balls. Mylie had gone out for a bit before hand but already returned to the comfort of the house. I had was watching something on t.v. while everything was cooking. Soon though the timer went off which is of course requiring that I get up and flip the stead least I should want to burn them. As I walked down the deck stairs to the grill (small deck, lots of patio furniture means grill is out on the dirt in the yard) when from my left comes this huge pile of fur running to the right at the of our yard but only to begin with only like 5-6ft from me. At first I thought cat. Then my brain started to process things, hmm big cat, with no tail, point ears. . . oh! bobcat! The fur kind of looked spotted. It was injured though, favor it’s right hindquarter. It keeps walking slowly, glancing from side to side. Then when it reaches the fence where it likes to enter and exit appearantly it turns and looks at me. I was wrong, not a cat of any sort but this:

Backyard Visitor

With no tail, and a gimpy right hindquarter. He/She was so cute! No I had never seen a raccoon before and yes I know they can be annoying with the trash and such, but I still felt bad for him/her.

Needless to say, Mylie does not get to go in the backyard alone anymore. Also, we need to fix a hole in the fence.
